hey all, i have an R32 with RB25 + box.

the revs are fine but speedo tends to sit bout 20k's out. when u hit 100k's+ bout 20-30k's out

took it to workshop on wednesday, its low enough for them to spend 15mins getting pieces of wood for me to drive onto before being able to even fit the jack under :P

they where un sure as to what the deal was, something was mentinod to me about "cable too tight which is why the speedo changes more when higher speed" then told that isnt the case.

its booked in for next week, n they rekn will probably have to try a bunch of different things to get it sorted.

so R32's run cables while R33's have some kind of electronic system correct?

would something like an apexi RSM be a suitable substitute?

thanks

Yes, R32's have a cable all the way to the dash where it is then converted to a signal the ECU can read.

R33's have an electronic sender on the gearbox.

R32 have a final drive ratio of ~4.3:1 while R33's have a final drive ratio of ~4.1:1, the senders on the gearbox have different toothed cogs to account for this.

Have a search of the forums, there is a LOT of info on putting 25 boxes in 32's and overcoming the speedo problem.

Basically, you start with a Navara sender (comes with a 17T cog) and then swap in a cog that fits/suits.

As I changed my final drive ratio to 3.9:1, I found that the 17T cog on the Navara sender was pretty damn close and would be fine.. it reads 7kmh high which is fine in my books :)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
